Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

Currently dev/mem for s390 provides only real memory access. This means
that the CPU prefix pages are swapped. The prefix swap for real memory
works as follows:
Each CPU owns a prefix register that points to a page aligned memory
location "P". If this CPU accesses the address range [0,0x1fff], it is
translated by the hardware to [P,P+0x1fff]. Accordingly if this CPU
accesses the address range [P,P+0x1fff], it is translated by the hardware
to [0,0x1fff]. Therefore, if [P,P+0x1fff] or [0,0x1fff] is read from
the current /dev/mem device, the incorrectly swapped memory content is
returned.
With this patch the /dev/mem architecture code is modified to provide
absolute memory access. This is done via the arch specific functions
xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr(). For swapped pages on
s390 the function xlate_dev_mem_ptr() now returns a new buffer with a
copy of the requested absolute memory. In case the buffer was allocated,
the unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function frees it after /dev/mem code has
called copy_to_user().
